Mt. Kurodake’s northeastern face

Mt.Kurodake information

As the temperature rise, the snow melts quickly.
The slope of Mt.Kurodake has 3m, 1m snow from the entrance and after 7th station sign 13m, 1m snow. (After 7th station sign, there is now snow.)

Slipping down risk reduces. But if hikers worry about walking on the snow, we recommend to bring crampons. (If hikers slide down at 13m snow, you might hit big rocks. When you climb down, be careful. )

Passing 8th station, “Weigela middendorffiana”,” Ranunculus acris var. nipponicus” and “Trollius riederianus var. riederianus” spread to bloom.
